| Fuses that matter. Tbg,That's good advice, but I remain a bit skeptical about sales people's expertise in this rather small niche of audiophilia. If anyone owns the new range of Classe amps and has installed a fuse upgrade, I'd love to hear about it. Classe has alwa... | |
| Fuses that matter. I just replaced my Classe' 2200 with a CA-2300. I was using a Hifi Supreme in the 2200 to excellent effect, but the 2300 has a completely different topology and requires the following fuse type:IEC time lag, high breaking capacity 12A 250VI cannot... | |
| Shunyata ztron power vs cx cables... You should google "Shunyata Zitron Burn in" and read the results. I own several Anacondas and they all required 300 to 500 hours to fully settle. Using fan to accelerate burn in is a good idea. You should also shift from burn in discs, to music, t... | |
| Help Choosing a Power Conditioner with protection. If all you want is surge protection, I would suggest a whole-house surge protector. They only cost about $295 installed. I own some very, very expensive conditioners and even the inventors of these products concede that surge protection in condit... | |
| CD transport recommendations There is no question that CEC transports are good...I've owned and auditioned several. However, what you have to pay for their top-of-the-line models simply does not result in a decent "bang for the buck" when you compare what you can get with a P... | |
| CD transport recommendations For the money, you can't beat the PSAudio PerfectWave transport, IMHO. I've seen them used for as little as $1300. I've owned CEC and Meitner transports and auditioned Esoteric and Consonance transports and the PWT beat them all. Its jitter and no... | |
| The absolute "best" filter/conditioner for digital I agree with Zd542 about trying things out, but in lieu of other information, such as your budget and what you're trying to accomplish, I always recommend the "first do no harm" approach of Shunyata. They have something for just about every budget... | |
| Shunyata ztron power vs cx cables... Cykeric,I have a Triton and it took several weeks of normal use to fully break in. If you want to accelerate the process, hook a fan up to the unit and leave it on between music listening sessions. Shunyata also recommends turning the whole system... | |
| Can a Pass Labs XA160.5 Drive a Set Of Thiel CS7.2 Break-in is bound to take at least a month or two on amps of that size. What does Pass recommend? | |
| What's your view on blind testing? David12,Expensive, but very true. Good point. | |
| Krell 3250e vs Classe CA-2300 vs Levinson 532H I think the CA-2300 is more liquid in the highs and has a more natural midrange than the Krells. The 2300 is a bargain, IMHO. | |
| Classe ca-2100 vs ca-2300 The CA-2300 also soundly beats the formidable CA-2200. I just made the switch after three years with the 2200 and there's no contest...this amp got some good reviews but deserves more press. If you can't afford the M600 monos, it's the way to go a... | |
| PS audio PWD MK2 a real upgrade from MKI? Waiting for the right time *always* makes sense. Happy trails. | |
| What's your view on blind testing? People who feel the need to dbt equipment would be happier with another hobby....like counting trains. ;-) | |
| PMC vs. Salk Sound Speakers. Which is better? "I've followed many-a-thread here over the years and this one may be the most pointless of all."+1 |
